Advantages: Easy to use, Auto Focus

Disadvantages: Lacks advanced controls

This was my first bridge Camera which I bought as I wanted to step up from the original Point-and-shoot up to a bigger camera. I got it out off Tesco for £149.99 which was pretty cheap as when I got home I checked up and amazon and other big retailers were selling it for alot more. At the time I had no previous knowledge off Bridge/DSLR Cameras so i didn't exactly know what to do with this camera.

So bearing in mind I didn't exactly know what to do with this camera I set out on a adventure to the great outdoors my aim was to get the best pictures possible. When I came back I couldn't believe the picture quality that I had managed to snap up. The Auto Focus had just worked perfectly and the pictures were much better than what I expected from a 10 Megapixel camera.

As time progressed I got more used to the camera and everything started to become easy to use. I finnaly started using the Manual setting instead off the basic automatic with no customization avalible. This produced even better snaps and it made it more worth the money that I had originaly paid for the camera.

Now a days I still use the camera and sadly it has become far to basic for me. It lacks Manual focus and it just doesn't cut it for me and give me the snaps that I set out to take. It is a good camera and im not debating that , I would really recommend this camera to a person who is serious for photography, is just starting out and doesn't want to spend the extra £200-£300 to get a professional DSLR in-case they don't enjoy the hobby off photography.

Overall it's a great camera which if I was asked by a amateur I would automatically recommend it just sadly is not what I want now.

Summary: I would recommend this camera for a new photographer.
